Just A Brief NoteJanuary 12, 2001I just re-read yesterday's entry. Egads, that was self-indulgent. What was I thinking? I just wanted you all to know that I've made a bargain with Ganpati. I cannot do my next entry until I've written a thousand more words. No more zero totals allowed. So -- if I get them finished tonight, you will get another entry. A full one. Maybe even with a snippet of what I wrote in it. If I don't, then I will post a word count and that's it. If you don't see the word count, nag. Nag mercilessly and without stopping.
The Promised Word CountJanuary 12, 2001 (Later)Not even close. 380 words.
Jeez. I hope all you real writers out there are doing better than I am. Maybe it's time for me to start writing info-dumps again. I'm real good at those...
Hmm
